IndyCar unable to secure 2016 return to Fontana (The Associated Press)
IndyCar won’t return to Auto Club Speedway in California next season in a move that weakens the series’ dwindling presence on oval tracks. The series confirmed Friday that discussions with track officials couldn’t identify a suitable date to return to Fontana. Although the June race this year was one of the most spectacular IndyCar events in the last several seasons in terms of on-track action, the race was held in front of a crowd of less than 10,000.
